hey everybody its Craig with another pocket now face off again for dual core world domination the Motorola Droid X 2 versus the Samsung Galaxy s2 alright let's kick off today's face-off between the Motorola Droid X 2 and Galaxy S 2 we're gonna run down some specs first and will boot up and check for available ram on both on our quadrant standard smart bench and Linpack protests then we'll run our unofficial speed test to our gaming comparison I wrap this up with our browser comparison so let's kick this off Motorola Droid x2 weighs in at 155 grams definitely the heavier of the two offers a 4.3 inch qHD capacitive touch display with a resolution of 540 by 960 there is no front-facing camera for video calls below the display our four physical keys main menu key home key back key as well as search key on the galaxy s2 weighs in at 116 grams again a 4.3 inch capacitive touch display this one being Super AMOLED plus resolution of 480 by 800 got a 2 megapixel front-facing camera in the upper left hand corner and below the display you have to touch sensitive keys main menu key back key as well as the home which key which is a physical key on the back both offer eight megapixel cameras droid x2 autofocus dual LED flash geo-tagging as well as image stabilization video capture is 720p on the galaxy s2 features our autofocus LED flash geo-tagging touch focused face and smile detection as well as image stabilization video capture is 1080p at 30 frames per second the battery on the Droid x2 1540 milliamp hour battery rated at 7 hours of talktime on the galaxy s2 it's a 1650 milliamp hour battery where they did 8 hours and 40 minutes of talk time memory on our two combatants droid x2 comes with 8 gigabytes of internal storage 512 megabytes of RAM galaxy s2 comes in two versions either 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal storage both come with one gigabyte of RAM processor on the Droid X true - is invidious one gigahertz Tegra 2 dual-core processor on the galaxy s2 it's Samsung's Exynos 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor operating system on the Motorola Droid X - Android 2.2 Froyo on the galaxy s2 its Android 2.3 Gingerbread alright let's boot up today's contenders and see what we've got in the way of available RAM on both and we got the Droid X going let's get the galaxy s fired up galaxy s2 excuse me there we go guessing the galaxy s2 is gonna be the first to boot up there comes the Droid X 2 as well yes - on the settings applications running services then when we got six hundred and twenty eight megabytes 596 so we'll let that settle down and on the Droid X - going to Settings applications running services give that a second to settle down got 186 hidden in 192 now I believe available under 92 megabytes of RAM available in the Droid X 2 on the galaxy s2 we've got six hundred and forty megabytes of free memory so as far as memory availability after boot the galaxy s2 is our big time winner here with six hundred and forty megabytes available all right first up we're gonna round the quadrant Center benchmark test on both got a good clean start alright let's check our results looks like a 2679 on the Droid X 2 and 3182 on the samsung galaxy s2 so whatever the quadrant standard benchmark test would be the galaxy s2 alright and next we'll run our smart bench test on both get a good clean start alright so take a look at our results I think we're gonna have two indexes productivity index and games index and our winners are the on productivity index it's the Galaxy s2 at 3801 versus 28:22 as far as the games index our droid x2 is gonna be our winner at 2474 versus 2148 on the galaxy s2 hey last but not least will run our Linpack Pro for Android and our winner is going to be the galaxy s2 with megaflops 46.78 two at a time over 1.79 seconds versus the Droid X 2 mega flaps thirty six point nine eight at a time of two point two seven seconds all right let's run our unofficial speed test i've got advanced task killer on both let's kill all the selected tasks or applications and we'll start out with calendar i couldn't tell that looked like it might have been the droid x 2 that seemed to me to be the galaxy s 2 I couldn't tell an Ellen either maybe the galaxy s 2 there so quick as hard to tell gmail that was definitely the Galaxy S 2 contacts well that looked like a dead heat again hard to tell messaging I think that was the Galaxy s2 but again very difficult to tell let's try camera now it's definitely the galaxy s2 it's right third party and again I would have to say that was Galaxy s2 so overall I think the Galaxy s2 is showing us that it is a bit quicker overall loading applications than the Droid X 2 as its should be based on the tests and the fact that it's running a larger dual-core processor and also has a lot more available ram alright we're gonna try our gaming compare so I'm going to run raging thunder 2 on both I'll try to kick them off at the same time so take a look at loads load speeds and then I'll run a lap on each of the handsets and we'll take the let's go with the Droid x2 first you're going to doing this to a camera so all right all right there's a quick look at the gaming comparison on both the Droid X 2 and galaxy s2 running raging thunder - alright let's wrap up today's PocketNow face-off for dual core world domination between the Motorola Droid X - Samsung Galaxy s2 with our browser comparison kind of both running off the same Wi-Fi network I've clear the cache in history on both the displays are both set to default or automatic brightness they're both running Adobe Flash 10.3 and I have flash fully enabled on both and I've cleared the cache in history on both as well so I think I just covered everything let's head over to engage it on both and we're off up to write X - got a little bit of a head start there see if it makes any difference winner it looks still looks like it's gonna be the galaxy s2 troit x2 is right there galaxy s2 is finished very smooth droid x2 also very fit finished and also pretty friggin smooth that quite is smooth but pretty close definitely the best contender we've had to date for the Galaxy s2 in the browser comparison so far as far as how smooth and fluid the response is on the browser and then double tap to zoom in and out what I want to do on a double double tap to zoom in let's pinch to zoom double tap again get to rewrap you can see how just how quick it handles that double tap to zoom all the way out any rendering issues none whatsoever very nicely done by the Droid X - whoops troit x2 galaxy s2 it's just just like buttah nothing to it double tap to zoom in and out however the one thing you don't get is the pinch to zoom double tap rewrap doesn't happen there's a look at Engadget and again our galaxy s2 is a little bit smoother but not by a heck of a lot all right let's head over to pocket now you find it on both there it is my phone reviews going on here and we're off look a little bit of head start to the Droid x2 Galaxy s2 is coming on it look like they're about neck-and-neck galaxy s2 is out in front and now we've got to load all of the flash and we'll see you can cut through that quickest looks like the galaxy s2 is going to make it galaxy s2 is done and again smooth as silk no problems whatsoever double tap to zoom in no issues whatsoever still waiting on the Droid X 2 to finish loading pocket now it's got a lot of the flash and it's loaded there we go and you can see with the amount of flash it's not here it's not near as fluid as it was on Engadget double tap to zoom in you can definitely see it's laboring bitches doom still works but it's certainly not as responsive as it was let's head over to the actual story itself I thinking it looks like we're neck-and-neck again we're coming down to who can load the flash the quickest to as the processing power and it's the galaxy s2 double tap to zoom in and still waiting on the Droid X to to continue to finish lay the flash there we go so we've got both of them loaded double tap to zoom in but you can see the galaxy s2 is handling the pocket now site much better than the Droid X 2 so anyway there's a look at our face-off between these two and again I would have to say our Samsung Galaxy S 2 is our reigning and continuing to be champion in our dual-core world domination faceoff for Pocket now anyway this has been Craig I hope that's been helpful take care
